An affordable shared-ownership home in desirable Blakedown, offered as a 50% purchase on a rural restricted lease. The semi-detached house sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and benefits from a bright lounge-diner with French doors, a well-equipped modern kitchen, two double bedrooms and pleasant countryside views from the rear. The property is compact (approx. 632 sq ft) and suits buyers seeking a low-entry route into this sought-after village.
Practical strengths include off-street parking for one car, a landscaped rear garden with raised patio and lawn, mains gas central heating, and modern double glazing. The development is close to local amenities, good primary and secondary schools, and a regular train service for commuting to Birmingham — attractive for first-time buyers who need village life with commuter links.
Important restrictions and costs: this is shared ownership (50% share) on a Rural Restricted Lease which prevents the property becoming a freehold even if you buy 100%. If you buy more than 80% the lease may require the housing provider to buy it back. Combined rent and service charge total about £387.94 pcm; the listed annual service charge is £4,647.28 (above average). Eligibility criteria apply (local connection, income cap, no other property, HomeChoice Plus registration) — ensure you meet these before applying.
This home offers a practical, low‑entry purchase in an affluent, very-low-crime village setting with countryside outlooks. It will suit buyers prepared for the restrictions of rural shared ownership and the ongoing service/rental costs, and who want a ready-to-move-into, low-maintenance house close to transport and schools.
